Thanks Jennifer!

Hi All, Well 8’x4’ 12mm thick cement board ain’t light! It’s about 50kg a board! I’m my normal labourer short so I’ve got the Rockwool in and started on the boarding. I’m planning to get up to the height of the inner ceiling with the first layer of board then a bit below on the second layer with gre...

Almost all framed out now!

The area above the doorway we’re going to add extra noggins in case the silencers that still need to be made are bigger than 470x355. They probably are!

Lovely work! Definitely good in your situation to have modular! I think if I need one I’ll do it in one : )

Evenings greetings! We started on the timber stud wall today...wow it is sooo much slower sealing everything! We used 3 beads of silicone/adhesive/sealant for all the timber perimeter to seal it effectively where it meets masonry. We had to put something in the decoupled floor gap, where the inner l...

Yes it is looking great!

Where you have the old garage door section, does it need to isolate between the 2 rooms? Must do surely? Do you have a quick sketch as I’m finding it hard to envisage...

Yay! Out of the blocks!

It’s fun trimming engineer bricks : )

If we’re packing mortar anywhere we use any size bit of wood to ram it in...fingers at times... gloves of course ; )

Although I’ve just found these perimeter seals while looking at thresholds... https://www.norseal.co.uk/browse/acoustic-perimeter-seals/norfast And the best looking threshold I could find so far: https://www.norseal.co.uk/browse/threshold-plates/nor650 both of these seem to boast 54dbRw The threshol...

I spoke with a seal specialist...I also have some concerns about flood protection and the seal they sell to manufacturers of flood doors is seal 1707. They said 1708 for me: https://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=1#77 The self adhesive bond strength seems insanely good too... it ...

1057 for Great, yes that was my understanding too! Just need to sort out the seals. I think the door seal I will use a small routed in version or even self adhesive option, then maybe a boot seal partly rebated in a door stop for the second one. Just bought 30 tubes of green glue for the isolation ...

Nice work! Just stumbled on this thread!

Hi All! I need to begin a paid job in about 4 weeks from now so I’m going to get an extra pair of hands where I can get it and push on with what can be done! While I await the final HVAC silencer details I’m going to get the front door made up and hopefully the internal main room door and Frame. The...

Well, we have a fairly smooth winch towards the intended placement... we actually ended up using our feet to encourage it in when we could get behind it... bracing off the concrete beams above. We nudged it almost into position but left it on 25mm square steel section to lift it for rubber placement...

Ha, yea it was hairy : ) sleeve holes covered amd facing down : )

I do have a bit of a plan for tomorrow ; )

Hi All, Geeze finally finished a box today! Tricky tight fits as some of the timber wasn’t cut accurately enough... lump hammer required for persuading. The new layout will give me a lot more flexibility for storage so I’m well happy with that! Gladly we know the silencer placement for sure...just n...
